	Close your eyes and play an online computer game! Not possible, you say? Then welcome to Maitipi Escape. It is a so called Blindventure Game, a completely new type of computer application that reverses the trend to ever more complex and realistic graphics. It takes away a player's most important faculty: the eyes and the ability to see. In Maitipe Escape players have to rely entirely on sound. The resulting insecurity guarantees not only surprises but fun for even the toughest game master. Maitipi Escape employs the model of ego-shooter games. The story is rich in action and takes place on an island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. The challenge is to escape! Only sounds help you. Your screen goes blank. Neither graphics nor animations support the interactive sound worlds. This produces an entirely different game experience. Yet, as the most impressive images are produced by one’s own imagination, Maitipi Escape catches on. It makes computer games enjoyable in an entirely different way and opens them to visually impaired people.
